CONFERENCE FEEDBACK

Each year, we compile and review all of our attendees’ feedback to continue improving this event. Here's a snapshot of the highlights!

“It is a testament to The Mountaineers that so many people show up to this conference. Our volunteer leaders are dedicated to the organization, creating opportunity for people and improving themselves.”

“I found the diversity track the most compelling for me and think it’s critical for The Mountaineers. This year’s sessions show important growth for the org. Keep it up.”

If you have any questions, comments, or additional feedback, please contact Sara Ramsay.
